Huge week for all the consoles, to bad Japan wasn't always like this lol

Even more interesting, look at the totals for this week:

Roughly 80K between the very expensive, doomed PS3 rat and the clear 2nd finisher Xbox colossus.

Shouldn't the 360 be selling a little closer to the Wii since it even has a SKU that is cheaper than the Wii? Correct me if I'm wrong. Xbox should be looking up to Wii since it is so in the same price range and also has the SKU package to compete directly against it (and don't forget the Mii rip-offs!). But, instead they are like padding themselves on the back 'cause they were able to outsell a pricey piece of elite vanguardist electronic equipment like the PS3, this holiday season. That 80K this week doesn't look that much as an advantage to me, beginning the new year, and nothing to be too proud of compared to what their same-priced competitor is making.

The only console/handheld which saw a huge drop year over year was Wii. This time last year, Wii sold in excess of 240,000 units in Japan.

yeah Japan has been going downhill before the holidays

Japan again saves the PS3 from dropping below 21% WW. Good PS3 sales!

Yeah! Nice PS3 sales.

Ah both Sony and MS dont have that "charm" that Nintendo has.

Say if Sony or MS came out with a casualized system like the Wii, expect it to do terrible because people associate Sony and MS as the big whigs of pushing advanced technology that does more than play simple video games.

Nintendo can do this because that is what people identify them with.

Wii at 46 million sold and 49.6% o_O

 People identify them with printing money at this point.

Wow, I can't believe the Wii managed to pull off just enough to cross 46 million.
